Hi, I´m Joey
It’s my hope that this website, which I founded in 2009, will become a regular source of inspiration, encouragement and comfort for you. We’re old friends here, and I’ve got stories to tell (and things to share). So grab a cuppa (or a glass) and stay a while.
While blogging is how I started my out-loud writing career, my debut novel, Yeah, maybe was released in 2014 and became an amazon bestseller. See more novels from me under “books.”

The One With The Stuff & The Things.
So I got a text early Saturday morning from my neighbor. Why is a Crime Scene Investigator here? Being nosey that I am, I ran over to our main window to have a peek. Yup. Something was going on all right. We poked around, trying to find out what the deal was. All we...
The Constant Imbalance.
I'm good at making messes. Not actual, literal messes, though I am good with those too. I mean the life messes. I don't know how they happen. I don't think I'm an irresponsible person. But for some reason, I often find myself in the throws of a mess. I can't be sure...

Mama, indie author, wife, believer and friend.
